So, I’m trying to play around with apple’s Automator, to create workflows to do a few things I want. What I want to do is be able to select images in iPhoto, select my plugin, which will prompt me for a path, and upload to said path on my server.

Curse of the Apple
So I’ve told many people before about my old ‘Curse of the Apple’. Well, it seemed to have gone away with the advent of OSX, but I had something this last week that sure made me feel it was back.
Black Hole
Saturday night, Kelly and I went out to the “Clark Planetarium”:http://www.clarkplanetarium.org/ . We just missed a seating for “Magnificent Desolation”:http://www.imax.com/magnificentdesolation/ , but we were just in time to hit their new “Black Holes”:http://www.clarkplanetarium.org/FilesChanging2004/NowPlaying.html#BlackHoles . Quite a good show. Some great graphics that take advantage of the 3d-dome to help you feel what it’s like to be at a black hole, the feel of passing the event horizon. It attempts to help understand relativity, in somewhat layman’s terms, although I think it was glossed over a little too much.
They also made one mention of white holes, when describing the theory of the wormhole/bridge but didn’t explain them at all 🙁
Overall it was a very enjoyable experience, and would recommend checking it out. For all my Star Trek geek friends, the narration is done by the guy who played ‘Q’, no biggie for me, but he did a good job.
